Intergenerational Programs in Aged Care: Building Connection and Wellbeing
At Horizon Community Services, we champion Aged Care Services that bring generations together through meaningful activities and interactions.
These programs strengthen social wellbeing, reduce isolation, and nurture a vibrant community spirit.
Why Intergenerational Programs Matter
We recognise the unique value these initiatives bring to communities, including the Darwin aged care community.
By connecting younger and older generations, intergenerational programs create shared purpose and belonging, supporting the goals of our Aged Care Services.
Promoting Mutual Learning and Skill Sharing
These programs foster two-way learning. Younger participants can support older adults with smartphones and social media, while older adults share life experience, skills, and wisdom. This exchange builds mutual respect and understanding
across generations.
Physical and Cognitive Benefits
Intergenerational activities can support mobility, confidence, and overall health. Light movement such as gardening or chair-based exercise helps maintain physical function, while puzzles, games, and guided discussions
provide cognitive stimulation that keeps the mind active.
Building Stronger Communities
By bringing age groups together, programs break down barriers and create more cohesive, supportive environments.
The result is a lively space where everyone feels valued, connected, and engaged.

Enhancing Social Interaction and Reducing Loneliness
Older adults can experience loneliness and isolation, which may affect mental and physical health.
Shared activities such as storytelling, arts and crafts, and technology tutoring encourage connection and help reduce feelings of isolation in residential and in-home settings.
